Sugar blend with strife.
A slice of bittersweet life.
Serve on a sharp knife.

All the French
I can take -
piece of cake.
A baguette

Paris tempts.
Cream inside;

Speak of the devil incarnate
to give the devil his due
not to play devil's advocate
tho' devil-may-care
the devil is in the details
and while we're there
to state so now would be opportune
he who sups devil's food cake
or devilled eggs with the devil
should have a very long spoon
but if we don't the devil you say
better the silver-tongued devil you know
or there'll be the devil to pay
and we may go to the devil and be
between the devil and the deep blue sea
but it's the devil in me
as for the devil I have no sympathy
I know her well, and she knows me too well,
the way we two talk, the whole town can tell,
ten years wed, fire she spits,
drives me crazy, out of wits,
how wedding cakes can change heaven to hell!
The Cake Shop
There was a small cake shop near the bath-house
If I had money, I would go in there for a coffee and a cake
the girl behind the counter smiled; I fell under her spell
and my heart beating too fast made me dizzy
Her name was Berta, the loveliest thing on earth
I must invite her out for a walk in the park.
She closed her shop at five, borrowed my brother`s tie, and used his aftershave. Alas, outside the shop stood
a man tall and handsome
I walked by and into a deep shadow.
When she came out, they kissed and walked hand in hand
down the road, she said something, and he laughed.
Devastated, I sank to the ground and bitterly cried
how stupid, the burning shame, I couldn`t go into her shop again, told him about me when she laughed
I found another place where an old lady of thirty served
I felt at ease with her; we laughed and often kissed
But life is not sweet chocolate, as I had to work with no education
I joined the merchant navy, a place for poor boys who didn`t want to work in factories and left dreams behind. Or did I?
The first chocolate cake you remember-
The one I brought for you...
I baked it with so much love,
Glazed it with dark chocolate,
As dense as my affection for you.
Next morning with a tensed move,
I went up to your place,
Pacing to and fro...
You said with your eyes:
"Keep it on the table."
And then you said you enjoyed it-
Even shared it with friends.
Then came cakes two three four...
They dont exite you anymore.
Though the second one -
You were not ready to share with anyone.
The second last and the last...
Brother's day and bidding goodbye-
I poured in my love,
A little bit more.
Now as you are gone,
I can't bake for you.
But with every cake in the oven,
You peep into my mind.
My heart skips a beat...
Oh my dear Annan loves
cake to eat.
It's the sweetness that
visits once a year
To let loved ones realize,
They are celebrated, my dear
Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry cream and carrot
Without them it feels we have no merit
Spongy, ooey gooey cake moist to the touch
With a delectable, creamy sweetness
You gotta indulge in it's punch
Cut into slices for all to enjoy
Call in Kara, Carol and Roy
For that delectable sincerely we love to relish
Until next year, where well meet again
To indulge, it's a most enjoyable sin!
Lemon layer cake frosted
With lemon cream smooth
Sliced and served upon blue plates
Sweet iced tea lovely
Lemon slices served
Delightful
Tea
Bouncy jouncy lemon cake
Made by grandma who loved to bake
Rolled into balls, it bounced fine
We did not like lemon, orange or lime
Pineapples are a great fruit.
Love in a cold drink.
Makes carrot cake so special.
Chocolate is fun.
Hawaiian grown fruit.
It's for me,
Loved.

A chocolate, vanilla-
sweet kiss on the tongue.
Rich icing between layers.
For celebrations,
or just a sweet treat.
A treasured -
gift
Always rising like
A rainbow butterfly cake,
Taking time to bake.
5 large egg whites
250g caster sugar
380ml double cream
5 tbsp lemon curd
300g blackberries
2 tbsp pistachios, toasted & roughly chopped
InstructionsPreheat the oven to 180 C/160 C fan. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Adding the sugar 1 tbsp at a time, continuing to whisk until you have a stiff, glossy meringue.
Divide into three, placing two big dollops nto one baking sheet and one on the other. Spread out until you have three circles approx 20cm in diameter.
Place the trays in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 140 C/120 C fan. Bake for one hour then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely.
When ready to serve, whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold in the lemon curd. Remove the meringues from the baking parchment and layer with whipped cream, blackberries and a sprinkle of pistachios. Serve in thick slices.
This meringue cake is best eaten on the day of making, but leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two.Fagotto Amaretto chocalae and piscatoes
